"For me to find money for food is a big challenge as I rely on casual labour for money for fertilizers which are even scarce these days due to Covid-19. Because of this I have been finding it hard to purchase fertilizers and apply to maize field resulting in poor yields and hunger consequently"

"I do not have a proper house as the house I currently live in is really small and in bad shape. And it badly leaks during heavy which makes living in it very uncomfortable"

"I am so Happy this has never happened before, some of my problems will end when the money is channeled in."

"I find it very hard to make ends meet as we depend on farming through out the year"

"In my opinion, all that GiveDirectly did in our village was amazing, the approach was outstanding as everyone was given a chance to respond to the questions asked directly by the visiting officer without the influence of other village members. This gave each one time to interact and get to ask for any clarification concerning the project. It is my feeling that even in other villages, guides should not accompany them from one house to the other as some may ruin other households' chances of receiving the transfer."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received my transfer in that, I am living a happy life. Through the transfer, I was able to build a decent shelter for my child who no longer had to borrow shelter from my neighbour. In addition, I am not receiving the constant mocking than I use to get due to my condition. Furthermore, my child is learning well without being distracted due to fees. In addition I was able to purchase some livestock which will assist me to educate my child."

"When i receive the money, i will be able to buy enough food and also use it to buy iron sheets."

"My life is different than it would have been if I had never received my transfer in that, it has changed for the better. Through the transfer, I was able to improve the condition of my house by constructing an extra one room and putting up a door since the house that I had was very tiny to accommodate me and my properties. Without the door, I was not safe, especially at night. In addition, I was able to acquire some pairs of clothes. Lastly, I enhanced my livestock rearing by purchasing 2 more cows."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well for sending us the cash transfer which has empowered my life. I was able to acquire livestock something that I will be depending on for the rest of my life."

"Am very excited I plan to buy matress, food and kitchen utensils"
